Why The I-Threes never sang backup behind Gregory Isaccs on "Material Man" from his 1982 album, "Night Nurse"

 The I-Threes , consisting of Judy Mowatt , Marcia Griffiths , and Rita Marley , were known for their incredible vocal harmonies and their contributions to Bob Marley 's music.  However, they did not sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on his song "Material Man" from his 1982 album, "Night Nurse." There are several reasons why this collaboration did not take place. Firstly, it is important to note that the I-Threes primarily worked with Bob Marley and the Wailers , providing backing vocals for their iconic reggae sound. While they occasionally collaborated with other artists, their main focus was supporting Bob Marley's music and spreading his message of love, unity, and social change.

I remember exactly how I felt the first time I heard Stansfield’s soulful voice belting out “Been around the world and I, I, I / I can't find my baby.” I was all of fourteen years old at the time and craving somethi...

It also spent a single week at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Chart and was certified Gold. Meanwhile, the leadoff single, "When Doves Cry," was in its 5th and final week at No. 1 on this very date. Four of the five singles from the No. 1 soundtrack album peaked inside the Top Ten while the 5th and final Hot 100 single, ""Take Me With You," peaked at No. 25 the following spring.
